About Morningside State School
Morningside State School was opened on 16 August 1926 anticipating an enrolment of about 290. Staff were overwhelmed by the end of the first day of schooling when 382 pupils had been enrolled, rising to 420 by the end of the month. The high enrolment validated the decision to open another school so close to other schools already established in the area. From its humble beginnings of one weatherboard building, Morningside State School now boasts eleven buildings, a swimming pool dug by parents in the 1950s, tennis courts and oval.
